The software is built for pretty recent systems so might be a while before I get to use it. (latest qt/libstdc++/glibc)

Do they have public sharing as thats very handy for our linux stuff?

You still have to install the app to get the referral bonus. But don't worry, any time you can!

Yes, they have public sharing, massive downloads (even the whole Public folder) and shared folders with fair sharing (Imagine I share a 3GB folder with three people. Under Copy’s rules, each user’s quota will only drop by 1GB. On other similar cloud storage or backup services, each user would lose the full 3GB from their allowance.)_________________Christos KoulaxizisWoof woof from Greece...

Copy works here running Porteus XFCE - i just moved it to my portable apps directory and run it from there - if anyone wants a .desktop template for Porteus XFCE > Internet menu here is download, make sure to edit .desktop file Exec= and point it to where ever you store the copy executable.

After some fiddling I got the command line versions running on Lucid on a dual core atom ...yo. I assume that gets yer bonus..let me know if not. The gui verson should run on lucid but the qt4/ libstdc++ wants a glibc2.13 function even though its supposed to work with 2.11.

I also played with dropping a newer glibc in the /copy folder which was a working hack of you have an older system.

There is also a command line utility with lots of juicy functions (once you decipher the help) like mounting your drop folder locally read only for cloud usage, and general drop usage..putting files, getting links etc which could mean its possible to say write a neat gtkdialog interface like I have for dropbox or some neat remote sfs interface.

Yeah, i got the 5 GB! Thank you!! More space to upload Puppy Stuff!!

The command line versions are nice, indeed! Thanks for posting these information mate, i'm sure that many people will find them useful! _________________Christos KoulaxizisWoof woof from Greece...

I am perplexed at getting Copy working. I already registered online and after downing the their Linux desktop app and fighting to find and open it for the next step it has a read me (below) which is over my head, so I checked out here for help and happily found a helpful topic on Copy and downloaded copy-x86-1.35.0518_5.6.0.sfs and it says it installed but I don't see any Copy gadget or folder to use. Should I use Quickpet instead or is there a procedure I'm missing? I'm using Precise Retro 5.7.

Thanks for any hints and this topic!

To use Copy in Linux, install this tarball wherever you like. There are three
binaries available for use, described below.cs

1. CopyAgent – This is a QT based UI application for the Linux GUI; it acts
as a tray application, just like the Mac and Windows versions.
1.a You can install overlays on certain version of Nautilus, by
running as root ./CopyAgent –installOverlay.

2. CopyConsole – This is a headless version of the Copy app. It can run
in a terminal or as a background process.
2.a This version won't have a login prompt, so if you haven't logged
in before you'll need to provide at minimum a username and Copy
folder location. If a password isn't provided at the command line,
it will be prompted for. Example:
CopyConsole -username=<email> -root=/home/<user>/Copy
2.b If you have previously logged in, either with CopyAgent or
CopyConsole, then no special arguments are required.
2.c For more options, run: CopyCommand -help

If you run through terminal the command 'fixmenus' or reboot your computer, you will see a "Copy" shortcut under the Internet menu. Just click on it and the CopyAgent will start giving you the the ability to setup the app as you wish..._________________Christos KoulaxizisWoof woof from Greece...

Thanks a trillion for your ultra-swift reply! I'm not greedy, but can't wait for that 5gig "bonus" to kick in!
